The PD provided in-depth training on deconstructing the TEKS standards and designing instructional activities and assessments that directly adhere to the state requirements. Before the training I had a surface-level familiarity, I now possess a mastery of utilizing the TEKS to guide curriculum and instruction.

This is a GREAT tool to help keep me on track in the classroom. I have laminated copies that I am able to use a dry erase marker to ensure I complete all TEKS!!!

Incredibly resourceful for a non-traditional teacher. Where was Valerie when I changed careers seven years ago?
